JESSE W'ARRINGTON, OE INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, ASSIGNOR TO THE N OE- DYKE 85 MARMON COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.

BOLTlNG-REEL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 309,176, dated December 9, 1884.

Application filed March 3,1884.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, J nssn WARRINeroN, of the city of Indianapolis, county of Marion, and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Belting- Reels, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my said invention is to provide a means for returning the coarse or unbolted material to the end of the reel, into which it is IO introduced through the reel itself, thus dispensing with the usual separate mechanism.

It consists, principally, in the combination of the reel, a centrally-located tube therein, a conveyer mounted in said tube, and a hopper I 5 or opening at the lower end of said tube adapted to receive the material as it falls from the sides of the reel, and of certain details of construction and additional combinations found to be desirable in carrying out the invention, all as will be pointed out in the claims.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, which are made a part hereof, and on which similar letters of reference indicate similar parts, Figure l is a longitudinal vertical sec- 2 5 tion on the dotted line .2 z of a reel embodying my invention; Fig. 2, an end elevation as seen from the dotted line yy; Fig. 3, a transverse vertical section looking to the right from the dotted line a: x, and Fig. 4 a detail view looking downwardly from the dotted line 10 10.

In said drawings the portions marked A represent the casing of the reel; B, the reelproper; G, the tube; D, the conveyer; E, the ingressspout; E, the egress-spout, and G the 5 supporting frame-work. The casing A surrounds the reel and receives the fine material as it comes from said reel, carries it along, and discharges it at the lower end. At said lower end is preferably a space formed between the 4.0 head B of the reel and an outer head, A, and in this space are lifting-wings a, which raise this fine bolted material as it comes upon them and throws it toward the center, where it is caused to enter the receptacle A by the 5 formation of the central portion of the head B, (which is bulged out and acts as a chute,) and is thence discharged through the spout F. The reel B is provided with heads B Bflwhich are secured to'the casing A and to the shaft (N0 model.)

of the conveyer. It operates as it revolves to bolt the ground material in the usual manner of reels of this character, and also drives the conveyer, as will be readily understood.

Alongside of the head B, at the lower end and secured thereto or to the reel-ribs, are preferably wings or chutes b, which are an ranged to discharge the material which, being too coarse to pass through the bolt,has worked down to this end and onto said wings, so that it will fall directly onto the open hopper O on the tube 0. These wings are curved, as'shown, so that the course of the material in falling may correspond to the motion of the reel. These wings may be dispensed with without destroying the utility of my invention; but they improve its operation, and I therefore prefer to embody them as a part thereof, while not confining myself to their use. The head B also extends outinto the shaft B by which the reels and the conveyer are driven. The head B is a plain head for both the reelB and easing A. It has a short hollow shaft, b of considerable size,whiel1 extends into a bearing in the frame Gr, and thus supports this end of said parts, besides serving as an opening through which the ingress-spout E enters the reel. The tube 0 is a stationary tube, secured fast to the frame G by bolts 9, or otherwise, it being preferably provided with a head, 0, which renders this method of fastening feasible. It has the hopper O at the lower end, which is arranged to receive the material as it drops from the sides of the reel or the wings Z2 and convey it inside the tube, where it will be operated upon by the conveyer D. One side of this hopper is formed of a thick portion, 0, which also serves as a bearing-piece to sustain the tube, it being provided with a central bearing, through which the conveyershaft passes, as shown, said conveyershaft being thus the means of sustaining said tube at this end. The conveyer D is composed of a shaft surrounded by a spiral flange or its equivalent,beingsimplyanordinaryconveyer, and is located inside the tube 0. One end of its shaft, d, is journaled in a bearing in the head 0 of said tube, and the other, 01", is secured to the shaft 13 by which the reel is driven, and'whieh thus is also caused to drive this shaft and the conveyer, The spout E leads from the grinding-mill or the receptacle into which it discharges in through the large hollow shaft 1) and discharges into the center of the reel. Its position after it enters the reel structure is indicated by dotted lines in Figs. 1 and 2. The spout F is capped over the receptacle A and leads therefrom. It is secured in position by being fastened to the frame-work G. v

The operation of myinvention may be briefly recapitulated as follows: The material comes from the grinding-mill and enters the reel through the spout. The portion 'which is bolted in passing through islifted by the wings a and discharged through the receptacle A" and spout F. The unbolted portion is raised at the lower end of the reel, preferably by aid of the wings I), and thrown through the hop per 0 into the tube 0, and the conveyer D operates to carry it back to the end of the reel which it entered, where it is discharged through the hole 0* into a receptacle or spout or another grinding-mill. (Not shown.) The reel and conveyer are thus within the compass of a single machine and driven by a single shaft, the advantages of which are obvious.

Having thus fully described my said invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination of a revolving reel, a

stationary tube therein provided with a hopper, 0, 011 its upper side to receive the tailings from said reel, and a revolving conveyer in said tube, substantially as described, and for the purposes specified.

2. The combination of abolting-reel, its casing, a central conveyer, a central shaft to which the reel, casing, and conveyer are secured, and a tube surrounding said conveyer, substantially as set forth.

3. The combination of the central stationary tube, 0, having opening orhopper at its lower end, and the reel B, having wings or chutes Z), all arranged and operating substantially as set forth. I

4. The combination of a supporting frame work, a revolving bolting-reel one head of which is extended to form a shaft, 13, and the other to form a large cylindrical bearing, b an outer head, A, lifting-\vings a, a spout, E, entering through the cylindrical hearing If, devices for causing a central discharge from the reel, and a spout, F, for receiving the tailings from said central discharge, substantially as set forth.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal, at Indianapolis, Indiana, this 27th day of February, A. D. 1884.
